Jules Bianchi was a French Formula One Driver, who at the 2014 Formula One Japanese Grand Prix had a tragic accident, where, at turn 7 (Dunlop Curve) he lost control of his Marussia F1 Car and slammed into a recovery vehicle. He passed away in July of the following year.

Jules was destined for great things - finishing in 9th at the Monacan Grand Prix earlier that year, and being on Ferrari's Young Driver's program meant that Bianchi was almost certain to head to Ferrari in the coming years, but such a great life was cut short...may he rest in peace and stay in our hearts and memories forever.


2019 marks the 5th anniversary of the Frenchman's horrific accident, and in remembrance, I think it would be only fitting to change the name of the corner, other greats such as Senna have also had corners at various race tracks named after them.
